Not sure how many people are aware that the newer Alexa devices have "presence detection" that uses ultrasound so they can detect when people are nearby. [0]

Heck, even Ecobee remote temperature sensors can do this.

Reminds me of the story about how the Google Nest smoke detector had a microphone in it. [1]
